Dana White tore into the judges who scored Kevin Holland's welterweight bout with Uros Medic a majority draw at UFC 334 on Saturday night.
Holland appeared to control the first round at Madison Square Garden before Medic was docked a point in the second for repeated low blows. When Bruce Buffer read the scorecards after three rounds, fans inside the arena were shocked to hear the fight ruled a draw. White told reporters at the post-fight press conference that the point deduction was applied to the wrong scorecard, according to BJPenn.com.

White On Holland's Missing Win
The UFC president said he was embarrassed to explain what happened in front of business associates at the event. "That decision is absolutely insane to me," White said. "Clearly Kevin Holland won the fight." Holland told media members he initially thought he had won when the scores were announced and that the groin strikes compromised him in the third round. He believes he won the first two rounds but took the result in stride, joking that he doesn't get hit below the belt as often against American opponents.
Holland did not express interest in running the fight back with Medic. Medic later apologised for the fouls and announced he would take a short break from competition. UFC 335 is set for later this month with Charles Oliveira and Diego Lopes confirmed as the headliner.
